What three consecutive integers have a sum of 1314?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 1314. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 1314. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1314

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 1314
3X + 3 = 1314

3X + 3 - 3 = 1314 - 3
3X = 1311

3X/3 = 1311/3
X = 437

Which means that the first number is 437, the second number is 437 + 1 and the third number is 437 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1314 are 437, 438, and 439.

437 + 438 + 439 = 1314

We know our answer is correct because 437 + 438 + 439 equals 1314 as displayed above.
